Utica, NY – Antonio Scala of the Utica College football team has been named the Co-UC Male Athlete of the Week, along with fellow Pioneer Josh Haskin of the hockey team.

Antonio recorded his second pick of the year and a season-high in tackles. He currently leads the UC defense with 78 tackles on the season, and also ranks fifth in the Empire 8.
The Pioneers are currently 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the E8 this season with one more contest left on the schedule. The team will put its bowl eligibility on the line in a road matchup with conference rival Hartwick on Saturday at 1 p.m.
